DESCRIPTION: Valentine’s Day Sucks is a short horror comedy film about a vampire frat boy who goes to hook up with a girl he matches with on a dating app during the loneliest day of the year. Included are references to Nosferatu and Twilight. I wanted to make a commentary about hook up culture and the literal blood sucking consequences that come with participating in it.
